My questions are: 1. What is the population of these coins? 2. Is it a good investment? 3. What is the max you would pay for this set? 4. Or is this a better option:You must be logged in to see this link.|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50

Just look at the spot price of platinum and calculate what the premium is over spot. Platinum is still way down from its high, but it is very volatile. Platinum is more of a speculative metal than a wealth-preserver, in my opinion.
And he that hath lyberte ought to kepe hit wel / For nothyng is better than lyberte / For lyberte shold not be wel sold for alle the gold and syluer of all the world. -Caxton's edition of Aesop's Fables, 1484
I agree with AG....if you think the swings in silver and gold are wild, platinum is worse. So it has a tremendous upside (I remember it being over $2000 spot last year) but that also means a tremendous possible downside.
To answer your question about the mintage numbers, I checked my 2007 Redbook and they dont list any mintage numbers for the proof sets nor for the 2004 and after coins. Maybe someone has a more up to date Redbook with population #'s?
My hobby: collecting real money 1 copper cent or nickel at a time.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
Thanks guys, I think you right. Sometimes I get caught up in the numismatics. If anything I'll stick w/ bullion grade I guess. I might buy the apmex's scotia bank 1 oz bar, low premium compared to others.
